The task is complicated but very achievable from a technological point of view. It is however greatly overshadowed in complexity when it comes to educ
There is a considerable amount of research and literature about success factors of academic spin-offs in general. Some sources describe academic spin-offs in Sweden, which is one of the most innovative societies in the world. More specific sources address certain issues such as academic spin-off creation, finance, performance or other factors influencing spin-off success in regions as Gothenburg,

However, dam projects often necessitate the relocation and resettlement of people to make way for reservoirs; processes that may pose great challenges for affected people, given that their homes, land, and livelihoods are lost to some extent.

This thesis focuses on cold ironing for vessels while berthed at port, with the port of Copenhagen as main case study. With the use of this technique, which is considered by the International Marine Organization (IMO) as a measure to reduce air pollution and noise deriving from shipping activities in ports and coastal areas, vessels are able to shut down their auxiliary engines in order to generat
Situation Awareness is defined as: “The perception of the elements in the environment within a volume of time and space, the comprehension of their meaning, and projection of their status in the future”.

Traditional measurements for determination of aboveground biomass (AGB) are widely used in ecological studies. However, they are labor demanding and time consuming, why this study performed on a grassland in Senegal has focused on finding a simplified AGB estimation method that could be applied on larger areas in the Sahel. The brightness values in the visible spectral range of digital camera imag
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how regional polycentrism can contribute to a more sustainable transport system in a specific region. Problems and opportunities for regional polycentrism to contribute to a sustainable transport system are also discussed. The focus of the study is the southernmost region of Sweden, which is Scania.

The majority of the deaths when a fire takes place are due to the smoke. The fire gases can easily spread through the ventilation system if it is not properly designed and some safety measures are taken. The current legislation suggest as solution to install independent ventilation systems or smoke barriers. However, the new Swedish legislation will offer new possibilities base on smoke dilution

OTC-derivat, ett skräddarsytt bilateralt finansiellt instrument, har i finanskrisens efterdyningar beskyllts vara en av bovarna i dramat. Särskilt tros OTC-derivaten ha bidragit till en icke-transparens på marknaden som gjorde det omöjligt att både förutse och för

The Malay Peninsula is a crossroads for people, languages and cultural influences, apparent in today's vibrant mix of Malay, Chinese, Indian, Thai and European. Yet this modern state of affairs all but conceals signals of much older situations of diversity. Thus, some 140,000 people grouped together under the label Orang Asli (Malay for 'aboriginal people') represent a range of cultural and biolog
